Thank you - watched this and snuck out and did mine just before it went dark ! I’ve only just bought my old 35 and I couldn’t feel the 2nd stage at all .. measured it after your video and it was miles out! So big thanks from England.

fantastic! holy hell, there’s so much misinformation on the forums. everyone had me thinking my clutch was bad but all i needed was pedal adjustment. thanks, brother!

Great video of the basics of clutch adjustment on the older MF models. Our 1968 MF 165 is good to go now. Thanks brother!

Thank you! Mines been grinding for several years. This did the trick. Glad i found your video 🤠

Thank you! My Uncle's tractor has been doing this for years and none of us have ever known the fix until now. looking forward to having the pto clutch back.

Hey there my man you just helped me solve my pto grinding problem on my Massey 50.Thanks

Great video and very informative. Only thing i would mention is that, according to my manual the 3/8 measurement is from the bottom of the footpeg (where it clacks up against), not the end of the pedal. By my measurements 3/8 there is about 1/2 at the pedal.

You are my HERO. THANK YOU. For this video.

The hub is working on my Hyundai. I was drawn in my searching to watch this vid and feel we've found the key. Thanks!

Well all I can say is of you were in Australia anywhere, I'd gladly shout you a beer! For not even the duration of thos video, fixed my PTO grinding and saved me a never emding head ache. Ups to you and this video, all the very best to you and your family and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge

Definitely going to try this as soon as I get home!

Just adjusted mine after watching this video, thanks Dad.

Thank you! I have the exact same problem on my massey. Much appreciated!

I have a 1964 TO35 I love this little tractor. Plows,tills,discs,mows.

Absolute Gold .. Took me longer to add this comment then make the adjustment ... No more Grind

This worked! Thanks!

Thank you. As I suspected my clutch was just out of adjustment. Thought I might have to tear it apart. Not Now Thanks very much.

Brilliant Video Friend, My TO-30 had needed for decades !! ( SMALL MOVEMENT MEANS BIG CHANGES ) Scratching Aline on both pin and clamp gives good idea on how much you move

Great walk thourth buddy. I know how to do this as my brother has the 35 Massey Ferguson with the Perkins 152 a in it. We are having problems with the pump strangler jumping and staying in th off postion we where thinking about replacement pump. But then the engine gave up in his Hynda Santafe v6. ✌👍

Good description. Thanks

Good stuff. Thanks

Amazing! I'm sure that's the problem with my 35, you have to stand on the pedal to get the PTO into gear and even then it grinds, I'll be trying this tomorrow!

Great video, thanks

Very good. I'm going to try that today.

Great work Dad ! hope folks realize they are taking up the slack lost to wear, and to really be sure to leave that little bit of slack otherwise they will be burning life off of their clutch which is definitely no good.

my pto not work I try to engage him and is not work ?? what s a problem tank you for your help .masey ferguson 35 year 1964 and the shaf not turn

Thanks dude 🤙🏻

The clutch pedal on my massey ferguson 135 x is very hard when pressing it down .what might be the problem?

My MF-20 (3 cylinder perkins diesel) is just barely able to creep along now even though the engine and hydraulics are running fine. I'm not sure if I just need to adjust the clutch or if I have a worn pressure plate. Is there anyway to tell between one or the other? Thanks.

Not near my tractor to test pedal slop but I can't get my pto into Engine PTO mode without turning the engine off. What causes this? Is it possible I only have a single clutch model?

Good short presentation Now asking x a different issue: Can you help me telling me Where the BRAKE LOCKING LEVER 181149M1 goes installed ? I lost the image ! Wait x your kind response

Hello great video, really informative. Im looking to buy a 1967 Massey Ferguson 135 Perkins diesel and while test driving it it grinds when engaging the engine pto you have to basically force it in and when you try to engage the ground pto it grinds and won't engage. Would adjusting the clutch aslo help with this? Thanks in advance for any help.

What if that doesn’t fix the problem? I have the same issue as everyone else. Had 2” or so of slop. Adjusted to about 1/2” and still doing the same thing.

I have a 35 that grinds the gears trying to engage with the clutch down from stationary. Could this be my issue?

Hey farm dad. My 48 fergy, find it hard to tighten 11/16 bolt. Also the square piece where you inserted screw driver. Should it feel springy, when turning to stop play in clutch?

MF 135 grinds when I try to engage pto. Can’t engage/disengage without killing the engine. Hope this helps.

we are getting a 135. to put it into gear you have to literally stand on the pedal. any advice?

at the mf 135 i have the same problem it should be solved like this, right?

Hoping my mf35 is a 2 stage clutch. The idea of my brushhog pushing me while the clutch is in sound crazy.

Done mine and now the pedal just fell down no free play?

My tractor also has 2-3 inches play in the clutch paddle, is it ok? 🧐 ori need to fixed it

Great but you didn't adjust the pto, only the transmmisson clutch.

Can't see how you adjust the caluch . You should be more pacific

You were fortunate to get away with adjusting the clutch pedal only. Clutch pedal adjusting gives correct clutch throw and throw out bearing clearance. As the main clutch wears the clearance between the Primary and the Secondary Pressure Plate increases. That means that the clutch pedal reaches the floor before the PTO clutch releases. Adjust this by 3 setscrews in the Primary pressure plate. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, remove bottom cover plate below the CLUTCH and adjust each setsrew in turn. Turn engine over by hand to get each setscrew at the bottom. On a Massey Ferguson 35 the clearance is 88-92 thousandths of an inch. On a Massey Ferguson 65 the clearance is78-82 thousandths of an inch. Hope this helps.
